Petition for the Removal

Of the LISD Board of Trustees

And the LISD Superintendent of Schools

 

 

To:  Texas Education Agency, School Governance Department, Attn: Office of Commissioner of Education, 1701 Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701

 

We the undersigned hereby petition the Texas Education Agency, School Governance Department and the Commissioner of Education to investigate and take immediate and sincere action towards the removal the LISD Board of Trustees, and the LISD Superintendent

 

Furthermore, we the signers of this Petition make the following resolutions to this regard:

 

 

We the undersigned resolve to: wholeheartedly support any action that may be legally taken by the Citizens of Laredo, Texas in conjunction with the Texas Commissioner of Education and the Texas Education Agency that would ultimately result in the removal of the current LISD School Board and its current Superintendent.

 

We the undersigned are resolved:  in our belief that the Laredo Independent School District School Board of Trustees has caused irreparable damage to the collective psyche of the community of Laredo. It is our belief that several members of the current LISD School Board of Trustees and its current Superintendent are using the board as means for personal gratification, and profit at the expense of the LISD taxpayer, and the community of Laredo, Texas as a whole.

 

We the undersigned are resolved:   in our belief that the recent shortfall of $6,000,000.00, flagrant out of town escapades, plagiarism by the Superintendent, and the shameful demotions, and firings of key personnel are just the tip of the iceberg as to the tyrannical manner in which this District is being run.

 

We the undersigned are resolved:  citizens and or residents of Laredo, Texas that are exasperated by the shameless shenanigans of some of the LISD Board Members and the Superintendent. 

 

We the undersigned are resolved:  in our understanding that a petition in and of itself cannot serve to have a board removed and we furthermore understand that serious action takes time and serious consideration by the TEA and the State of Texas.  We collectively stand behind any such serious action as may be taken.

 

We the undersigned are resolved:  in our understanding that serious action is now under being taken by a group of Laredo Citizens to this regard.

 

We the undersigned are resolved: that if we happen to work for the LISD School District that we are requesting our names be kept private by the TEA, and the State of Texas due to the real threat of retaliation by the current LISD Board of Trustees, and the current Superintendent.

 

We the undersigned are resolved:  in our understanding that as signers of this petition our names will not be disclosed to the Board Members of LISD, LISD Superintendent, nor anyone else involved with LISD other than TEA and the Commissioner of Education.

 

We the undersigned are resolved: in our understanding that for our names to remain private we must check the privacy box as we sign the petition.

 

We the undersigned are resolved: in our understanding that this petition is being circulated by a group of private Laredo Citizens hereby to be known as the Friends of LISD for Change Committee.  We further understand that this committee works under no charter, keeps no records of any kind, and draws its membership from the following pool of possible members; current/and or past LISD Superintendents, Board Members, Principals, Teachers, Taxpayers, and or Concerned Community Members whom shall remain anonymous due to the real or perceived threat of retaliation by the current LISD School Board, and its Superintendent.
